The present invention relates to a human body thermal support device. The device comprises a base (1), a triple-walled wall (2) mounted on the base (1). The triple-walled wall (2) comprises an inner wall (14), an outer wall (15), and an intermediate wall (45) therebetween so that a first space (4) is formed between the inner wall (14) and the intermediate wall (45), and a second space (5) is formed between the outer wall (15) and the intermediate wall (45). Both spaces (4; 5) are fluidly connected to each other so that a gas flow (10) can flow from the first space (4) to the second space (5). The device comprises a gas flow preparation unit (6) configured to warm-up and direct the warmed gas flow (10) to the first space (4) and the second space (5), in result of which effective heating of the triple-walled wall (2) is provided.

A retainer with a closure mechanism not removable from the retainer is bonded to each of the air inlet openings of an inflatable convective thermal blanket. The bottom surface of the retainer is bonded to the blanket so that its orifice is in alignment with the opening into the blanket. The closure may be a flexible layer or sheet that is adhesively attached to the top surface of the retainer. An end portion of the flexible layer away from the orifice of the retainer may be press or die cut into the retainer so that the flexible layer is non-removably attached to the retainer when the user peels the releasably secured portion of the flexible layer away from the retainer to expose the air inlet opening. The closure can also be an extension of the retainer that is hingedly connected to the retainer so as to be able to be moved pivotally to cover the retainer. The closure has a configuration that allows it to be releasably secured to the retainer when it covers the orifice opening of the retainer.

Disclosed is a system and method for producing and storing hot air, and for applying the stored hot air to a human body. The hot air producing system may include a heating apparatus configured to heat air to a temperature, a temperature setting gauge, a pressure gauge, a pump to pump the hot air, a fill connection, a container for receiving hot air from the heating apparatus and storing the hot air therein, the container including at least one valve to connect to the fill connection of the heating apparatus such that the container can receive the hot air from the heating apparatus, an adjustable flow release mechanism connected to an outlet of the container for receiving the hot air, and a flexible hose connected to the adjustable flow release mechanism. Embodiments of the invention can include a computer system capable of governing all the components.

The invention relates to a device for use in the thermal therapy treatment of a selected region of the body of a human or of an animal, in particular for use in the treatment of tissue damage after surgical interventions, of injuries, of inflammations and of chronic diseases of the rheumatic type, and in particular for assisting chemotherapeutic treatments, comprising a temperature control device which is provided in order to control a temperature of a temperature control fluid, and a heat transfer device which is arranged to transfer heat to the selected region of the body, wherein the temperature control device is connected, in a fluid conducting manner, to the heat transfer device, and is further arranged to temper the heat transfer device with a heat transferring temperature control fluid flowing through the heat transfer device, and with a control device which is connected to the temperature control device and to the heat transfer device, wherein the control device is arranged to control the temperature control device, in order to cause the heat transfer device to be at least partially at an approximately uniform temperature in the region of a contact surface between the heat transfer device and the selected region of the body to be temperature controlled. The invention further relates to a method of operating the device.

The present invention relates to infant incubators with heated walls. The infant incubator (1) comprises a base (2), a mattress (3) arranged on the base (2), a triple walled hood (4) surrounding said base (2) to enclose an infant compartment (5), and a triple walled access door (6) pivotally mounted to the base (2). The triple walled hood (4) and the triple walled access door (6) comprises an inner wall (7), an intermediate wall (8) and an external wall (9) spaced apart from each other so that an inner space (10) and an outer space (11) are formed on each side of the intermediate wall (8). The inner space (10) and the outer space (11) are fluidly connected to each other by means of openings (12) in the intermediate wall (8) so that a warm gas flow (14) is provided within the inner space (10) and the outer space (11).

The invention relates to a device and method for thermal therapy of a selected region of a human or animal body, particularly for treating tissue damage after surgery, injuries, inflammation, chronic rheumatic conditions, and for supporting chemotherapy. The system includes a temperature control device that circulates a temperature-controlled fluid through a heat transfer unit configured for uniform skin contact, and a pressure device to optimize thermal transfer. During chemotherapy, the device maintains the selected region, such as hands or feet, at a target temperature to prevent or reduce chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN). Sensors monitor temperature and pressure, enabling feedback control for consistent therapy. Methods include fitting the device to the patient, adjusting pressure, and maintaining even skin cooling throughout chemotherapy, thereby improving patient comfort, reducing adverse side effects, and supporting adherence to treatment. The invention provides improved outcomes in thermal therapy applications.
